In a turn of events for the much-anticipated film ‘Malaikottai Vaaliban,’ featuring Mohanlal and directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery, the box office performance is witnessing a gradual decline in revenue. On its 16th day in cinemas, the movie managed to accumulate a modest Rs 10 lakhs, signaling a challenging journey at the box office.

Despite an impressive screen count in India, boasting 4200+, the film’s performance falls short of the budgetary expectations.
